TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

Hay quienes quieren negar los derechos de los inmigrantes latinos que llegan a los Estados Unidos

en busca de una vida mejor. Esta injusticia es extraña ya que los hispanos llegamos al territorio estadou-

nidense en 1513, 73 años antes de la llegada de los primeros anglosajones. Estos fueron Ponce de León

y compañeros quienes buscaban una mejor vida en la famosa fuente de la juventud. Eventualmente los

hispanos dejaron de buscar la ilusoria fuente y en 1565 en la fiesta de san Agustín (28 de Agosto), Pedro

Menéndez de Avilés fundó la primera ciudad en Florida.

Gracias a su santo patrón esta ciudad ha podido sobrevivir ataques de invasores británicos y piratas,

amenazas de huracanes y tempestades para convertirse en la ciudad más vieja de la Unión Americana.

¿Pero quien fue este santo? Agustín, fue un obispo africano, quien después de una vida desordenada se

convirtió en uno de los santos mas importantes de la Iglesia, gracias a las oraciones continuas de su ma-

dre santa Mónica. Nunca debemos menospreciar el poder de las oraciones de una madre por sus hijos. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
